Shaky, lightheaded, dizzy

For the last month I’ve had these symptoms most of the time. But they have been constant (non stop) for the last week. Lightheaded when I stand up or bend over, shaky when I use my muscles (any part of my body). Just a tiny tremble inside. Not really noticeable to others. And I’m so tired and feel really out of shape. I haven’t exercised much since this started.

I went to the doc and the ER. Blood tests, EKG, CT scans and they can’t find anything wrong. Not blood sugar either.

Doc said shaking was probably anxiety but not sure about the lightheadedness.

I have been stressed lately, but haven’t had my usually anxiety symptoms of racing heart, tingly face and intrusive negative thoughts. It’s just so weird that I would have these new symptoms (shaky and lightheaded) without the old ones. Now I’m afraid the old ones will come back too because I’m so worried.

Anyone else get these symptoms or been through something similar?

I feel very shaky when I haven't eaten. Sometimes a piece of bread with peanut butter does the trick. I also need to have meclizine with me to take if I become lightheaded and dizzy. It's the non drowsy formula of Dramamine. It could be anxiety but even if it is all of the old symptoms may not come back. If they do please reach out. If the physical symptoms become worse they could be a number of things. You may have to keep going to the doctor until the answer is found. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Yea definitely don't stop going to the doctor. It often takes repeat visits w multiple doctors to figure out what's going on for sure.

I hope you feel better soon and get some answers!
